1. Stack eight sticks and wrap a rubber band around each
end. Then, stack the remaining two sticks and wrap another rubber band around
one of the ends.

2. Separate the two sticks hinged together with one
rubber band and slide the stack in-between.

3. Add the last rubber band by weaving it in and around
the point where the sticks meet.

4. Apply a dot of hot glue and attach the plastic cap.

Make it a Math
Game!

You'll need something to shoot in the catapult. We used
pom pom balls.

Grab four disposal plates and label them with numbers. I
used 5, 10, 15, and 20. Use your child's ability to gauge what numbers are appropriate. When playing this with my preschooler by
himself, I will just use one plate so he can count by ones how many pom poms hit the target.

Now lay out the plates and load the catapult with a pom
pom. Push down on the pom pom-filled cap, release, and watch it fly! Have kids
add their scores together.
